New York, NY // January 2022 – June 2023
This 18,S00sf gut renovation was the first work done to the 5th floor since the library opened in 1981. Renovation work transformed the library with new programming for both students and faculty. The new floor triples the existing quantity of student seating while also including reservable group study rooms, two learning studios, workshop and conference space, a faculty resource center and library staff offices. Glass-walled “co-labs” anchor the reading room and feature three walls of whiteboard and tackboard with shareable touch-screen monitors. The glass walls give these rooms a performative quality inspiring curious classmates and voyeuristic passersby.
My responsibilities as project manager included design coordination during construction to deliver renovations on time and under budget utilizing union construction and NYState contract procurement.
